The old man rolled his eyes again as he said this.
He had never had this habit before, and he didn't know why, but when he was in front of Jiang Fan, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
And this kid's master, the two of them are so awful they make you want to roll your eyes.
Jiang Fan: "Not the Pope, then you mean that former Holy Lord?"
"That's right, it's him. Speaking of this god-like figure, I've only seen him once or twice when I was young. He was truly an unparalleled beauty, a sight that lasts a lifetime!"
"By the way, have you heard of Master Li, the former commander of the Divine Wind Camp?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan thought to himself, "What nonsense are you spouting? This is my cheap master."
Before he could answer, Lan Mingxi continued speaking.
"Back then, that Holy Lord completely bewitched the former commander of the Divine Wind Camp, leaving him utterly infatuated and bewildered, with the man following him around like a shadow."
"Is that so?" Jiang Fan asked deliberately.
Actually, he had already sensed something when the Crazy Old Man talked to him about the Holy Lord of the Church of Justice.
"Let me tell you, back then Li the Troublemaker was a real troublemaker, defying heaven and earth, even his master couldn't control him. Only that Holy Lord could easily subdue him. Once, he got into a fight at school, and he didn't even respect the principal, let alone the teachers. The school had no choice but to call his parents, and guess what happened next?" Lan Mingxi became more and more emotional as she spoke, getting more and more excited.
These words piqued Jiang Fan's interest. It has to be said that being a gossipmonger is an innate talent of every Great Xia.
When there's juicy gossip to eat, who cares about body aches or how badly injured they are?
Seeing Jiang Fan's interest, Lan Mingxi spoke even more enthusiastically.
"Later, his master didn't come, probably because he knew he couldn't control him, so his master sent that holy master instead."
When Li the Troublemaker saw that the big shot arrive, he immediately wilted and obediently apologized to his classmate, as well as to the teacher and principal. Finally, he lowered his head and followed the big shot away.
To be honest, this is the first time I've seen Li the Troublemaker so obedient and docile.
Jiang Fan asked curiously, "Were you there at the time? How do you know so much? Or are you making it up?"
"I'm not making this up! I was one of the students who fought with that Li the Troublemaker back then, how do you think I know all this so clearly?" Lan Mingxi said irritably.
After glaring fiercely at Jiang Fan several times, his trembling beard finally stopped.
After regaining his composure, his tone of voice became wistful again.
"Speaking of which, that was the first time I met that Holy Lord. To be honest, it's no wonder Li the Troublemaker so spineless. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have been much better."
You wouldn't believe it, the moment he appeared, the entire office fell silent. Those shrewish parents who were arguing non-stop practically had "infatuated" written all over their faces when they saw him. Tsk tsk tsk—I'll never forget that scene.
Later I thought, thank goodness I'm not from the same generation as him. If I were, what would be the point of trying? I'd only be crushed by setbacks.
At this point, Lan Mingxi's gaze fell on Jiang Fan again, and she shook her head and clicked her tongue.
"Don't think that just because you're outstanding among your peers, you're the chosen one. Let me tell you, that's because you haven't met truly unparalleled people."
If you meet him, you'll know what a world of difference it is, and you'll realize how insignificant you are.
Forget about that guy, even Li the Troublemaker is someone you can't catch up to.
Don't let his subservience before the Holy Lord fool you; he's the most powerful Spirit Master in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty, second only to that legendary Spirit Master!
The more Lan Mingxi spoke, the more disdainful she looked at Jiang Fan.
It's as if you have no idea that there are always people more capable than you.
"You might disagree with talking about your predecessors. So let me talk about someone from your generation. I'll tell you a secret, but you're not allowed to tell anyone. Li the Troublemaker took on a disciple with monstrous talent, who is also Spirit Master. If I'm not mistaken, his disciple's talent is no less than Ye Qizhen's! You're not even on the same level as him."
As Lan Mingxi spoke, she kept observing Jiang Fan's reaction, wanting to see how devastated he would be.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Fan's face showed no signs of being hurt; instead, he had a big smile on his face.
"Yes, yes, you're right. Master Li's disciple is amazing, incredible, a prodigy."
This left Lan Mingxi somewhat puzzled. Was this kid just putting on an act, or did he think he and Spirit Master were on different tracks and therefore didn't care?
Just as he was thinking this...
"Awooo--" The terrifying wolf howl rang out again, this time much closer than the one heard before.
"Oh no, that beast has come looking for us!" Lan Mingxi exclaimed with a serious expression.
"Did it hurt you?"
As clever as Jiang Fan, he immediately guessed the reason based on Lan Mingxi's unhealthy condition.
"Awooo-- Damn human! Come out here! I'm going to kill you! Kill your whole family! Awooo--"
Speak human language!!!
Jiang Fan felt a chill run down his spine.
Once a demon beast reaches the Seven Star, it can speak human language.
Although he couldn't see the demonic beast outside, he could sense that it was definitely more than Seven Star creature.
Besides, with Lan Mingxi's strength, a mere Seven Star wouldn't even be enough for him to slap.
What did you do to it? Why does it hate you so much? It even threatened to slaughter your whole family!
"I only killed a few hundred of its wives and slaughtered a few thousand of its offspring. It's not like I have any deep-seated hatred for it. This beast doesn't need to hate me so much, does it? It's so petty," Lan Mingxi said without batting an eye.
What???
Jiang Fan stared at Lan Mingxi with his mouth agape, looking at her with an utterly incredulous expression.
At that moment, he wondered if he was hallucinating.
"What kind of look is that? Did I say something wrong? A demonic beast of this level has killed countless humans in the past, using us as food and sustenance, even keeping the surplus in captivity, forcing them to reproduce, and then eating their offspring. Do you really pity it?!"
As she spoke, Lan Mingxi's eyes turned bloodshot and her fists clenched so tightly that the veins bulged and her knuckles cracked.
"Heh, sympathy?"
Jiang Fan sneered. In his previous life, he had been swallowed by a demonic beast and chewed up piece by piece.
"Hmph! I thought you were some kind of saint! That you're not right in the head. If that were true, I would absolutely never agree to you dating my eldest granddaughter!"
Lan Mingxi's words almost made Jiang Fan choke.
Let's talk properly, why did we bring up this topic again?
"Grandpa, I've said it before, your granddaughter and I really don't have that kind of relationship, why won't you believe me?"
"You dare to do it but not admit it! Coward!"
